Answer 2

He never tells a lie. (a) tell (b) tells (c) telling (d) will tell

• This question can be solved by following the general rules of the Subject-Verb agreement in English grammar.
• This agreement puts forth that if the subject does not end with "s", then the verb will end with "s"
• When the subject is third-person singular, such as he or she, then add an “s” to the verb. Do not add an “s” if the subject is plural, such as "they"
• Here, in this sentence "he" is a singular subject, and therefore "tells" is considered the right word.
• Another example is - The dog loves to be around the newborn baby. (The subject dog is singular and therefore "s" is added to the verb, love")
• The dogs love to be around the newborn baby. (The subject dog is plural and therefore no "s" is added to the verb, love")
